Road Racing the Big Baggers
This is kind of fun - road racing big Harley and Indian baggers at Laguna Seca:

Is it really a bagger if you're not blasting some obnoxious music at 105db?
Fun race to watch, though!

Yeah, those have WAY more cornering clearance than my Road King. Bags look small and are riding awfully high. They do feature, however, the request life saving pipes...
I wanna see 'em on a mile flat track next...

Very cool - nothing like taking a Caddy, then go road racing. Good for them. I've never officially road-raced but slinging that thing from one side- down to the other through an S turn gotta t as ke some strength.

I saw that a while ago and it is fun to watch. They still wobble like a bagger so they can't be too heavily modified.

Actually they are. They are allowed to do aftermarket aluminum swingarm, lightweight wheels ( but not carbon fiber) change the front forks, triple trees, rake ( through the trees) 131" crate motor, etc

Tap dance indeed - gotta love the one guy backing it into the corner early on.
